I got tagged! Angie Lucas tagged me today, and this is what I have to do:
* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Okay, here I go. Prepared to be bored out of your skull:
1. I have extremely ugly toes. Trust me on this. No photographic proof of any kind will be provided, and for that you should be eternally grateful.
2. At 16 years old I got my first car. A 1972 Ford Pinto, also known as Death on Wheels, was given to me by my step-grandparents who were the original owners. The car was a hideous green and the lovely vinyl interior smelled like moth balls and Aqua Velvet. But who was I to look a gift horse in the mouth. A car - any car - meant freedom and endless possibilities. At least it did for about six months until it died.
3. In 1995 I attended the Academy Awards on the arm of my grandfather, a retired L.A. Times film and arts critic. This was the year that "Forrest Gump" swept the majority of the Oscars and the one and only year that David Letterman hosted the show. We sat 14 rows from the stage, in the center section on the aisle, and I spent most of the evening looking over the top of Robert Zemeckis' head. It was an amazing night.
4. My middle name is Margaret, after both of my grandmothers. I guess with two grandmothers with the same name, it was a given. Everyone always thinks the "M" stands for Marie. Thank God it doesn't.
5. I hate math. I don't get it, I don't understand it, I probably never will. And I married an engineer who doesn't understand why I don't understand it. Needless to say, he's the CFO of our household.
6. I spent over 100 days in Haiti over the 11 months it took to complete our son's adoption and bring him home. Haiti is an amazing place and its people are what make it that way. A place like Haiti changes you forever.
7. I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue. I'm chock full of talent, people.
So, there you have it. As promised on the Simple Studio blog, I'll be scrapping about this and I'll post it over there by tomorrow morning.
And now I get to tag seven people. Bwahahahaha!
